Laundry room refresh

My "new" house has been a bit of a downsize and every inch of storage has to count. And that includes the laundry room.

First of all, the walls were beige and that just will not do for someone who lives for color!

It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't "me." Even the laundry room can be pretty and make the tasks a little more pleasurable.

Before Estero laundry room makeover, the ordinary beige walls were the backdrop for a row of white metal wire shelves.

Like most of us, I had a budget for refreshing this year-old home. And let’s face it, the laundry room is not the priority when there is a lot to do. But it was time.

Most of my budget went to cabinets to replace the wire shelving. And now I have room for all of my storage and a little space on the counter for flowers and a shell. I also repainted and hung a few fun pieces.

After laundry room makeover, "Galt Blue" walls, colorful art accents the walls, bright white storage cabinets; shells and a bouquet of cut tulips are in a vase on the counter top.

After this Estero laundry room makeover, the walls have been painted with Benjamin Moore Galt Blue. The wire shelves have been replaced by bright white cabinets for additional hidden storage. Whimsical, brightly-colored painting features a quirky sea turtle, shells and bits of coral. The subtle counter tops have been accented with huge sea shells, cut tulips in a vase, and beach-themed sign.

“Gone to Beach” sign adds whimsy, it’s hard to do wrong with fresh-cut tulips, and the extra large conch shell continues the beachy vibe.
